Professor Thea van de Mortel: Why You Shouldn’t Share Your Toothbrush (or Razor)

From towels to toothbrushes, some things in the bathroom are better not shared. Professor Thea van de Mortel from Griffith University reveals the surprising germs lurking in everyday items, why towels can turn into “germ hotels,” and which object you could safely borrow in a hygiene emergency. It’s a mix of science, squirming, and a few unforgettable listener confessions.

Guest: Professor Emerita Thea van de Mortel, Griffith University

Presenter: Warren Andrew
